Roman 15th Century, after the Antique

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a small, oval-shaped relief sculpture featuring a seated, robed figure with a serene expression. The figure's head is covered, and it is surrounded by intricate floral designs and text within a border. The sculpture is made of dark metal, likely bronze, with a slightly worn and aged surface. It has a flat base and a looped extension at the top, possibly for suspension. The craftsmanship of the piece highlights the skill of its maker and its historical significance.
